RE: How to find Covid19 Vaccine (slots) in India

in #covid193 years ago

.so these techies book the slots this way!!! ..

yea, people get alerts when the vaccine is available in a given hospital and they can register quickly.

There are also tools which automates the entire registration process. The above one is just to monitor the availability.

This going to be tough ride as it seems only 53-55% of the vaccine produced in the country is being made available in India as of now. Those with technical-financial muscle will get the advantage by the looks of it.

Sort:  

Today I got myself registered in cowin and my flat is arranging for residents to get vaccinated...so hoping get some vaccine protection some time in the near future.

If it is not for this arrangement I cannot get vaccinated anytime soon with all this techie mussle power about.

Anyway... important thing is people follow Covid protocols and stay safe more than get vaccinated , that way chance of getting COvid is less anyhow.

That's what I have been doing and been Covid free even when my Dad was effected with Covid-19 last year peak during Sept.

However, that experience was nothing compared to the distress people are undergoing now, because my Dad got bed, oxygen and treatment easily, recovered fast and bacame stronger actually.

I was so happy that I managed to be covid-19 free even then. Anyway... I am hoping soon the situation becomes better and can have maid in the house back, and get back to doing my exercises rather than this rather dull house chores.

flats/apartments - how are they managing to by pass the vaccine reservation system in place ?

I live in Bengaluru. Here RWAs can contact GOvt. or private hospitals and arrange vaccination for resdents if there are over 150 people to be vaccinated

We all have to register in Cowin and subject to availability of vaccines, the hospital we contacts Fortis will plan a date and come over for a vaccination drive in the flat.

Ofcourse, we have to give our names, register in Cowin, then only.

Vaccine costs - 850 rs for covid sheild and covaxin 1250...they are going to give covissheild I think.

Here and even in Mumbai, company employees and their families have managed to get vaccinated it seems.

ok, got it.

Data collection seems to be a die-hard activity that the govt is doing from the time Aadhar introduced (from 2010 or so).

Yup...that's true do you know that Aroya Setu survailance capacity is there can track your movements that app can...

Thats why I not downloaded it... for privacy concerns. But people think it is good to have that app and that app makes it convenient to making vaccine bookings and stuff...

Better to use web portals and secondary phone numbers that is not linked with bank accounts etc for any online registrations. Apps are often a huge data risk.

Now they seem to be mandating aadhar too and thus in the process making "HealthID". Just like Aadhar came all this is coming without proper rules-guidelines in place.
